My source in Rocky Mount has no information concerning the names of the theatre. Her best guess is that ownership changed and so did the theatre’s name.
Ron: I enjoyed working with you during the “good ole days” too. Had some greaat times back then. I don’t do facebook, but, if you do, there’s a Remembering Plitt Theatres page that you may be able to find some former Wilby-Kincey/ABC managers, and we can get together???
Tinseltoes……As with the Cardinal-Raleigh, thanks for the Boxoffice link re the Ultravision-Charleston. I had not read this in the magazine. I took over management of the Ultravision in April, 1970 after a 2 year stint at the Richland Mall-Columbia, and can assure you that this presentation of films (especially 70MM)is absolutely the finest I have ever experienced.
Tinseltoes…..thanks for the Boxoffice link. I had forgotten about it. I am the Beverly Hall who managed the Cardinal at opening. I was only there less than 6 months and then transferred to the Richland Mall in Columbia, SC. Cardinal was a fabulous theatre.
I worked at the Center thru high school (1956-60) and HF Kincey also owned a drive-in there name Tower. Your photo may be the Tower or the other local drive-in, Skyvue. To the best of my knowledge, those were the only drive-ins in town.
